Hello, Andrea! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're experiencing.

In such cases, this antihistamine is used for its sedative like effects and it should start working within 15 to 20 minutes of taking it.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth.

If it isn't working for you, you should consult your doctor as you may need to try a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
